About this listen

“Narrators Caitlin Davies and Daniel Thomas May reprise their roles, and between them, they’ve once more captured the essence behind the voices of multiple characters, and even more impressively, this time there are non-humans thrown into the mix.” — Bibliosanctum

Sue Burke's sweeping, award-finalist, SF Semiosis epic continues in Interference as the colonists and a team from Earth confront a new and more implacable intelligence.

Over two hundred years after the first colonists landed on Pax, a new set of explorers arrives from Earth on what they claim is a temporary scientific mission.

But the Earthlings misunderstand the nature of the Pax settlement and its real leader. Even as Stevland attempts to protect his human tools, a more insidious enemy than the Earthlings makes itself known.

Stevland is not the apex species on Pax.

a worthy follow up that expands on the themes of the first book. Would love to read more in this series!

An excellent sequel

Difficult to follow up such a stunning first novel, this keeps the world but moves in centuries and introduces a off world source of disruption, and its in the off world characters and back story that I found less smooth and engaging. Where as the world of Pax, its characters and ecology was beautifully described and designed. Overall an excellent story and very well read.

Not quite as good as original but still an excellent story

Really hoping the series continues. Struggled with some of the voices at the start but the story overcame any worries.

A great sequel to Sembosis, lots of new characters, both humans, from Earth, and unexpected, unheard of inhabitants of Pax. Conflicts stem among all of them, division spreads until a common enemy, secretly interfering, is finally properly assessed and dealt with. Each of the characters discovers incredible, new possibilities and instruments, from the comm network for Pax people, to the amazing abilities of the rainbow bamboo for earthlings. By the end of the novel, Pax world is inevitably, once again different, but, as earthlings travel back to Earth bringing news and specimens from Pax, Earth is soon going to be radically changed by Pax. The many different points of view, though mostly from the same period this time, make the audiobook sometimes hard to follow.

A great sequel to Semiosis

Taking the tale of Stevland further and introducing unpleasant earthlings on to Pax makes this a very worthy sequel and hopefully leaves it open to a third book which I for one would dearly love to hear, outstanding narration
